We had a bit of mixed reaction with our food. All of our main dishes were great! We tried the…read morechicken burger, the shrimp burger, and a chicken pesto sandwich. Both burgers were very tasty and the accompanying fries were fresh and tasty. The chicken was a little on the dry side but the pesto was great. The tater tot side upgrade was a bad choice. They were overdone and pretty awful. We all opted for desert and the pies were soooo good. The lemon cloud was so refreshing and the strawberry peach was sweet and tart. The carrot cake was good but the frosting was too sweet and lacked flavor. The service was quick but the servers have a lot of tables so the waitress was not overly friendly or inviting. We felt like we were a task and not a guest. Would we go back? Yes but.....I would order differently and stick with the things that they are best at.

Although the stay within familiar territory, they put their own spin on things that take them to the next level, such as their cream-cheese duck wontons. I've only ever sat at the bar and found the servers to be classic Minnesota nice. They're knowledgeable of their beers (which is an impressive selection for the area) and are always happy to share their knowledge of the area. This spot is definitely a stop when I'm in the area.

It's a little hard to spot because the sign doesn't stand out and it's tucked between buildings. You order at the counter and they will bring your food to you. I love the idea the owner has about bringing fresh locally farmed ingredients to the menu. The menu is simple and it was perfect for lunch. We tried the tomato basil soup, smoked turkey sandwich and chicken salad sandwich. Everything tasted so good! Just a heads up, they aren't huge sandwiches but it was plenty for me.

Let's describe the restaurant - a french restaurant "out of place" in Alexandria Minnesota. So they…read moreserve sandwiches at lunch and dinner as a necessary way to provide interest in the restaurant. But - they have a very interesting french style dinner menu as well. Intriguing. We were traveling and our anniversary was while we were in Alexandria. We wanted something special, and a french dinner seemed cool. But wait. They had a "chef's table" as well. Not an everyday thing, and not inexpensive, but - a chef's table in Alexandria Minnesota? We were totally there. A five course meal, wines accompanying, and it was totally delightful. We often blog our travels, and we wrote pages about this meal. Kudos to Matthew and Amber!

Our waitress was very kind and attentive, exactly what I want at a local diner. I did notice my coffee cup came out dirty, which was a terrible first impression. Food was a mix. The Hangover Pancake was tasty overall, though a little on the dry side and not quite as loaded with meat as the menu description makes you expect. The blueberries inside were super sweet and fresh, which gave a nice balance to the salt from the meat. The eggs were as basic as it gets (that's what I wanted). I also tried the cinnamon roll. It was just okay because the icing was hard as a rock and the roll itself came out dry and lukewarm. That said, the prices are very fair, especially for the portions, and it's the kind of place that makes you want to come back for the atmosphere and friendly service.
